The Wildlife Inn is a rare find. This is a lovely little family owned inn with clean, comfortable rooms. Our room was quiet and very nice. The lady that operates the hotel is super friendly and very helpful. We were so happy to find this place and really enjoyed our stay.
The location is easy to find, on the side of the road. The guest rooms are not bad. The area is large, clean and hygienic. The decoration is old-fashioned. There is air conditioning and heating, and the service is also good. Unfortunately, the overall price is a little more expensive.
I don't normally sleep good at hotels, but I slept good here. It had everything we needed, plus extras like a big box fan and an easy-to-read Bible in the drawer. Our room was very clean and had a beautiful garden in front of our window. Thank you!
We stayed here while traveling through Nebraska. It was 2 am and there were no other hotels answering. We called Wildlife Inn and they answered. They were so friendly and accommodating. The room was very clean. It even smelled clean! They had cute little decorations on all the doors.The rates were also very reasonable. The next day we received a call that they found our phone charger in the room. Not only did they call to tell us but they offered to mail it to us! I highly recommend staying here if you are ever passing through!
Nice place to stop on our way to Canada. Hotel was clean and had parking for my 14 foot trailer.
I quite enjoyed my stay in this cute little time. I called 2 hours before arriving and they had a room available thankfully. I was greeted by an adorable very well behaved golden. Knowledgeable host, great space for a one night stay. I'm sure I'll pass through again with the knowledge that I can land there for a restful night's sleep. Thanks again!
Wonderful stay for a night passing through. Very quick check in! Friendly! Didn’t have to check out just left the key in the room. Very quiet motel and clean.
Small family run establishment, clean well put together rooms . BUT the service let me tell you the service is second to none absolutely the friendliest, accommodating people we have ever met. Ended up in Taylor due to an accident and the owner and daughter went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of , helped us find the park and diner to feed the kids and have them burn some pent up energy!! I can’t give this place and the family that runs it enough recommendations. Taylor is a quaint extremely friendly community with a lot of history. !!!

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
